 Hello everyone and welcome to this new video. I hope you're doing great and today I've decided to share with you a bit of a Q&A about 10 things you may know or you don't know about me But as always please subscribe share your comments tell us what you want to see four balls juggling next time Why not and the first thing I'm gonna say is when I was a kid I didn't want to be a race car driver. What I wanted to be is a 4x4 driver in the DZ and being a gold digger. I wasn't interested about the gold I was interesting about driving the 4x4 into the DZ, the dunes on the sand Completely off-road through with my best friend in my head It would look for the gold and I would just be driving the SUV. I'm not a funny one back in 2004 Osho Sleben Formula Renault you woke up. I mean funny sort of funny I thought the race was over so I licked off a troll and Starting my cool down lap and someone behind me crashed into me. The race was not finished There was one more lap the guy on the side. There was no radio obviously back in the day So we had the pit sign. He got it wrong So he was one lap too early and the previous lap I saw lap one So obviously it was the last lap of the race, but it wasn't the last lap of the race So I got crashed into and I didn't do a good result at the end of 2009 or early 2010 I was thanks by Renault and I wasn't going to be in Formula 1 in 2010 So I didn't know really what to do and I wanted to become a chef So I went to cooking school open days and I'm one day. I was just going to be 23 or 24 I was told I was too old to start a cooking school. So I went back to racing But many many more years later. I was still passionate about cooking. So it was my own We actually wrote a cookbook 46 recipes You would probably have one of them if you were coming and have dinner or lunch at home So I still I'm still passionate about about cooking but obviously never went to that school I went back to Formula 1 and I kind of thanked them for telling me no at the first time I was born in Swiss. My mom is French so I got dual nationality But when I started racing back in 2000 I was driving in a Swiss license I even entered A1 GP for Switzerland, but that race suit was never worn And I tell you why end of 2005 I'm French Formula 1 champion And at that time I still have a Swiss flag on my car I needed some support to carry on my career. So I went to see Rono for the Rono Drive Development Program Rono told me that they weren't interested in a Swiss driver for the future of Formula 1 But I said but I'm also French and from that day onward They told me that I was going to be French for racing all the time So I had signed like couple of weeks before for the A1 GP Switzerland team I never got the chance to compete there But I kept the race suit because it's a cool souvenir My grandfather was vice world champion of skiing in 1915 Aspen, his dad used to be a bobsled pilot He was 14 times Swiss champion I believe My grandfather was managed Swiss times Swiss champion as well Completed in two Olympics, finished 7, 8 and 48 in 52 But he was vice world champion of skiing back in 50 So I'm obviously born on the skis, I love skiing And I tell you one thing, you know that I live in Miami Aspen, Colorado is not that far Probably next winter, I'll be up there skiing Remembering my grandfather passed away a few years ago But gonna go and ski to slope and think of him Talking of famous, I'm on one of the most watched video on YouTube Dangerous, David Guetta, the clip Dangerous for his son I was part of it and I'm actually on the podium of that clip If you're watching details with James Purefoy, David Guetta I finished third in the race, I had to let David win obviously But that was a crazy experience, it was really cool to discover a little bit of behind the scene And I had no idea and I was pretty much blown away by how much work it was I was driving the cars obviously doing the videos But I was on the podium and I was actually showing David how to spray champagne And that was pretty cool A few years ago, 2019 I believe I entered Fort Boyard I know it exists in a lot of countries I don't know if you pronounce it in different countries But in France, Fort Boyard and I entered the game And they ask you if you got a phobia for snakes, rats, mouths, spiders And I say, yeah, I've got no idea I've never really met any of those So I don't know And then we go into the part where the animals are getting into They put me in that fun booth You know, I kind of sit down, I'm on the phone waiting for Perforat The grandfather to ask me a question so I can find the answer And they start feeding up with water So I'm like, yeah, that's fine I'm just gonna, you know, breath, come back down Pick up the phone and answer the question That was all good until they throw about 10 snakes, water snakes into the telephone booth And at that moment, first of all, I used all my worst French bad words that I know And realized that I had a phobia for snakes Absolutely horrible Since that day, I don't want to see any snakes near me My dream car That's a question I always have What's my dream car? And it's not a Ferrari, it's not a Porsche, it's not a McLaren It's not one of those crazy fancy ones My dream car is a Lancia Delta Evo II from 1995 My dad had all the Lancia when I grew up From the first one, we should believe, 88 to the last one, 95 That's the car that I want in my garage So if you haven't seen the video about my garage Go on and click on it, you know, see what's in my garage And you can see that there's a dedicated space that it's free It's gonna be for that car for sure one day For now, I only have that one that I need to build But definitely, that's on the list I want that car one day, that's my dream car I also wrote a book with Mayon, Facing Death Facing Death, it's kind of an autobiography Crossed with a love book because, you know, Mayon's got a chapter I've got a chapter It's obviously, we speak about the 29th of November 2020 My Bahrain accident But we also speak about some fun stories Back in Formula One, back in my early career IndyCar, the new discovery of the US and so on So, yeah, if you have a bit of time You can find it on Amazon And please let me know what you think about the book Because that means a lot to us
